Experience outdoor fun in Big Rapids

FSU Bulldog games, museums and more in Big Rapids

Pack your pompoms for a stay at the Country Inn & Suites because our hotel is less than two miles from Ferris State University, home of the Bulldogs. Don't forget your athletic shoes either since Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park and half a dozen golf courses are only minutes away. If you prefer water to land, you'll find plenty of exciting things to do on and along the Muskegon River. Before you leave, learn about the local culture in Big Rapids by taking in a show from the Wheatland Music Organization or by visiting the Mecosta County Historical Museum.
